Wednesday’s Sound Off

Due to increased deer activity, State Farm stated in Sunday’s paper that drivers need to stay alert and be engaged at all times. While this is a message about the deer there’s a danger out there called texting while driving. They are not alert or engaged except with their cell phones. Distracted drivers kill hundreds of humans each year and they could care less about your four-legged life.

For the person that says we can’t have it both ways, we are either a society under God or we are not, I can only speak for the millions in our society that don’t believe in your God and I do not consider being a liberal. Religion is the biggest scam ever invented by man. Perhaps we should return to the witch trials.

Thank you to the couple who bought our breakfast on Saturday morning at the Grill Shop in Boyertown. It is greatly appreciated.

Congratulations to the Owen J. Roberts High School band for an outstanding performance on Saturday night at the band cavalcade. The entire evening was a delight from start to finish but the OJR show was the highlight of the night. It was awesome.

On Saturday Citadel Palooza had their concert and Hunter Hayes was the main person. It was wonderful. There were about seven food trucks and the entertainment was unbelievable. I can’t wait till next year when they have it again. Thank you Citadel Palooza 2017.

The people of Puerto Rico were thrilled to see Trump throwing paper towels at them and telling them what a great job he’s doing. People are dying while Trump makes fun of them and tells them how much it’s costing to help them. The whole world can’t wait until he’s gone.

As a homeowner you have every right not to want dogs to do their business on your lawn. However it sounds like you have a beef with a particular neighbor. Why not confront him directly or if you know his address contact the police so they can issue a warning instead of putting it in Sound Off? You may get better results that way. He may not even read Sound Off.

Trump says he asked Pence to leave a football game if people knelt which means Pence in reality had no choice, no opinion of his own. This is a shame.

Fact

This is for the person who says to stop picking on Donald Trump because he’s much better than the last one we had for eight years. You gave me the biggest laugh, I rolled on the floor laughing so much. According to figures a 32 percent approval rating doesn’t sound to me like he’s the best one. Sounds to me like he’s the worst one of all the other presidents.

The Dallas Cowboys never took a knee during the national anthem. They all took a knee before the anthem and then they stood up and locked arms during the anthem. Good for the Cowboys.

Hey Mr. President, how about ending the wars we are already in before starting another one?

Dear humans, stop pretending your racism is patriotism.

According to Tea Party, Planned Parenthood has killed over 57 billion babies since 1973. They must have been very busy since the current world population is now 7.6 billion people. Apparently facts are not Tea Party’s strong point. The fact is Planned Parenthood saves lives of countless women and babies by providing breast cancer exams, pap smears, screening for STDs and HIV and contraceptive services to reduce unwanted pregnancies and abortions.

A very simple solution for the dog walkers, walk your dog on your own property. After it goes, praise it, take it out on the street. No problems for anyone.

It’s bad enough on TV that we have to have all those commercials but why do they have to advertise the shows that are going to come on? Who cares about that? It’s a half hour and you’re lucky you get a 15-minute program.

I would like to thank Nancy Kline, our previous Mercury carrier for the many years of delivering our newspaper. As an early riser I could always count on my newspaper being here when I got out of bed. Enjoy your retirement. You’re the best. We miss you.

Where is the box that you can deposit eyeglasses for the Lions Club? It’s somewhere in Pottstown but I forget where I saw it.

So there I was Sunday afternoon watching my sell-a-vision when to my surprise a commercial was interrupted by breaking news. Don’t I wish.
